55 years old, married, 2 children, two granddaughters :-)
After a first career as a computer technician-salesman for large companies, I became, since 25 years, a self-taught entrepreneur in the sports sector, passionate about tennis, training, personal development, innovation and new technologies.
I am a field player, manager of several clubs for which I develop projects and instill sports policy; I love learning at all levels: I give adult beginners' courses, cardio tennis courses and mental coaching on the court with several competitive players.
I also specialized in the use of new technologies by co-creating, 20 years ago, the first complete digital solution for registration, management and reservations specialized in sports to simplify the life of managers and boost their activities. In charge of sales and marketing, we have made it the Belgian market leader.
My mission, through the IKIGAÏ.ACADEMY concept, is to move the lines of the little yellow ball by stimulating and accompanying the personal development, creativity, innovation and entrepreneurial energy of teachers, sports directors, club and federation leaders as well as sports entrepreneurs so that they inspire more people to play tennis for life.
